This beeping is telling you there is a fault with the ESP or ABS and it probably wont work if you need it.

No, it will clear when the fault is fixed.

I am sure your insurance company would like to know its not working but you will just loose ESP or ABS and this may be considered dangerous if you don't know how to manually combat loss of traction while steering or braking.....

If you want to diagnose this fault yourself, you will need to connect a diagnostic scanner like this one for the C3 but it has a steep learning curve and needs an older laptop to run it.
